The owner of a Honda Pilot in a viral video thought he had a suspension problem that his dealership had missed. A Los Angeles-area mechanic found a damaged sway bar without much trouble, but also had an unpleasant message for the owner: the problem is you.
William Chang, owner of Concept 3 Performance (@concept3performance), starts off the clip reading off the vital stats on the 2020 Pilot with 55,000 miles, which he notes right away is low mileage for that age of a vehicle to have a suspension issue. When he gets a look and sees clear evidence of a torn sway bar, he identifies the origin of the problem almost immediately.
“This guy does not give a [expletive] about speed bumps,” he said in the video that’s been viewed more than 46,000 times. Chang mimics the “dong-dong” sound familiar to anyone who’s caught air over a speed bump, telling those drivers it's actually the sound of them needing to pull money out of the bank to cover repair costs.

Chang's confidence appeared to come from more than a colorful theory about aggressive driving habits. As the inspection continued, he walked viewers through the condition of the Pilot's front suspension and the wear he believed was contributing to the complaint.
